MAXVI B2

Advantages: Took a couple of granny. It turned out: black is the usual cheap plastic, yellow (gold) is lacirash, just handsome, a completely different look - we are really excited with granny)). The numbers on the gold-a keys are gray, but prominent. I confirm: the sound on the call is loud and bearable, their melodies do not cut the ear. Speaking speaker - not ice, but acceptable. Communication - no worse than others. There are no photos on the call - but you can still insert it into the "details" of the contact (she’s there). Yes, the screen is a crumb, one contact gets 8 letters, if there are more letters (max 15) they become 6 plus three dots (in the book the name does not run, only the number). In the magazine - on the contrary, so it is more convenient to use it. Telefonchik for those who call the few.
In short, I will catch a couple more Goldies (now there are none) - if they break, so as not to relearn ...
P.S. Courier claimed that the screen - factory film without ears. Hmm, even looking at a magnifying glass did not understand whether there is or not ... On one screen there is an m-aa-a-scarlet bubble ...
Camera - WOW - shoots text!

Disadvantages: There are no pictures to challenge)). Gold would be better if black numbers were ..

Comment: As if old people are not people ... What can a phone not do, where everything will be big - screen, font, buttons ?! In the absence of such, we take GOLD Maxvi b2.

Advantages: Good looking. Large font. Good radio. Two SIM cards and SD is a big plus for such money. The father does not need fashionable gadgets. He uses a push button dialer and he is delighted.

Disadvantages: The font should be corrected in SMS. Poorly determined by the computer when connected via a cord - buggy. The camera - in quality is commensurate with its absence.

Comment: Purchased for 1300 two weeks ago. Value for money and quality are excellent.

Advantages: I bought it as a simple dialer for a person with long-sightedness, so a large font was needed both on the buttons and on the screen - this was justified. In addition, I consider the advantage of the absence of unnecessary options in the menu (everything you need is there). Long keeps the battery charge.

Disadvantages: When typing SMS, each word is obtained with a capital letter - this is an obvious flaw, but not fatal.

Comment: The presence of 2 SIM, FM receiver, voice recorder, the ability to record photos and videos is a nice bonus for such an inexpensive device (bought for 1116p).

Advantages: Big keys, good battery

Disadvantages: The buttons are not drawn red and green tubes. The sound of conversational dynamics is not very clear.

Comment: I chose a model for my father for a long time, read reviews and watched reviews on different models on youtube.
Half of the models dropped out immediately when I learned that when they press the call button from the phone book, the subscriber does not immediately call, but an additional one opens. menu, where you need another couple of clicks to go dialing.
This model has no such disadvantage.

What we liked: a good design, large buttons, large letters on the display. A good 1000 mAh battery. Unlocking keys like Nokia (which was convenient, as the father used to use Nokia before that).
There is a flashlight, the light is cold bluish. Not very bright. Under the feet shine or keyhole - fit. There is a quick power key (hold).
There is FM radio, it works without a headset. But it is in the city. In the village, the radio does not catch. It is activated only from the menu, there is no shortcut.
I put a microSD card - with it, then you can set your own melodies for the call and SMS, if desired - for each subscriber.
Speed ​​dialing and SOS option checked - everything works.

What did not like:
Call and End keys are not marked with pictures and color. They are just white streaks - just like on the nearby menu selection buttons. Why do we need these buttons, if the joystick works in 4 directions - an extra confusion. The menu could be walked and joystick buttons call-hang up.

The volume of the conversation is adjustable from 0 to 14, although in my opinion a more or less working range is from 8 to 13. Below - very quiet, at the limit - the speaker croaks. In general, the speaker did not seem to me very much, in my smartphone the sound is cleaner. But father did not complain.

It may also have been a glitch - but when the SIM card was inserted for the first time with the PIN code request option enabled, the phone did not ask for a pin. I had to insert the sim into the old device and remove the option to request a PIN code.

If the contact's name or surname is longer than the screen area, then when viewing such a contact in the phone book, his / her name is displayed by a constantly moving line. A little annoying.

Advantages: When connected, it vibrates. There is an automatic recording of conversations. Unstretched battery kept 4 days (music, radio calls). The speakers (ringing and conversational) of good quality.

Disadvantages: The display is small and the font is large. This is unusual because it creates a little discomfort.

Advantages: The buttons are convex, clearly pressed. There is a speed dialing, i.e. you can assign phone numbers to digital buttons - this was an important requirement for me. When you select a number by pressing the call button, the call is immediately received, and unnecessary menu items do not appear as in other models I have seen.
There are two built-in tunes, quite nice. But when you install a memory card, you can put your melody and your wallpaper - it was also important when choosing.
You can adjust the volume of the melody. Oryot decently. The volume during a conversation can also be adjusted during the conversation itself. I can hear well and my interlocutor is also well heard.
There is a flashlight, turned on and off by long pressing the button 0.
USB cord is absent, but in principle can be charged from the computer or connect to it for data transfer.
There is a music player and radio, and play without headphones.
There is a black list.
Initially, the screen contains the names of the operators of two SIM cards, even if only one is inserted. But, fortunately, these names can be removed altogether. Watch, by the way, can also be removed.
The backlight time of the screen and keyboard, as well as the contrast is adjustable.

Disadvantages: Call and end buttons do not glow green and red. They have a general backlight with a keyboard, and not the brightest, but it is visible in the dark.
Unlocking the keypad is standard with two consecutive taps, which is not very convenient for an older person. Blocking can be disabled altogether if it is more convenient for someone.
The contact list contains the name and phone number, wanted to remove the number and leave only the name - did not find such an opportunity.
There is the Internet and even the Organizer has Twitter and Facebook points - this is superfluous, in my opinion. Internet can be turned off in the settings - uncheck the checkbox in the Connection - GPRS service.
The camera is also hardly needed here - weak.
If, when an incoming call is received, to press the SOS button or the sides of this button, the sound of the call itself is turned off - not very convenient, but not critical.

Comment: This is probably the best phone for seniors. At least those features that I was looking for are there, and there are no flaws that were found in other similar phones. Bought at the request of an elderly friend, taking into account its requirements. I can’t say about the battery, because I used it one day. But for a day, the charge level has not changed.
The SOS button did not configure, I can not say anything.
If it would be possible to put 5 with a minus mainly for blocking and the absence of green and red highlights of the call and end buttons.
